One man steals 3 billion = 3 years in jail. Another man steals 100$ = 15 years in jail

The CEO of what had been one of the largest privately held mortgage lenders was sentenced Tuesday to more than three years in prison for his role
in a $3 billion scheme that officials called one of the biggest corporate frauds in U.S. history.

The 40-month sentence for Paul R. Allen, 55, is slightly less than the six-year term sought by federal prosecutors.

And they wanted a maximum of 6 years... for one of the biggest fraud in HISTORY...

A homeless man robbed a Louisiana bank and took a $100 bill. After feeling remorseful, he surrendered to police the next day. The judge sentenced
him to 15 years in prison.

Truly sick.

America, you need a revolution. This BS cannot continue. Not if you want to call yourself a ``free country`` anyways... if you want to call yourself a
kleptocracy, where money is more important than justice and integrity, then it's alright.

this is how the prison system works...we fill it with the homeless and and pot smokers...which usually are in there for minor non-violent crimes...and
we give anybody with a name and some money a mere slap on the wrist...reform is definitely needed...our country is turning into one big prison day by
day...

This is why If I found money belonging to a bank or corporation on the street I said I'd keep it. If it was 1 dollar or several millions of dollars I
don't care, if it belonged to a crooked corporation or bank they would never give it back. F%#$ That!

How much you want to bet the homeless man was black. Black people are considered expendable animals. This is a fact. Check my threads, a (white)
homeless man robbed a bank for a dollar and they only charged him with petty larceny. He was hoping to get three years but they MIGHT only give
him a year and a half.

Roy Brown, 54. This man will be in prison until he is 69 years old for stealing $100 (that he gave back) that he needed to live. Some will look at his
picture and say "well he has a place to live now" with no remorse like he isn't even a human being.

His skin color has everything to do with it.

He is 5'5 143pounds, i know WOMEN more intimidating than that!!

Bringing in the race card is not going to make any difference at all. Amerika IS becoming a prison within it's self...doesn't matter...color is
nothing anymore. What does matter, is if you have the necessary connections to keep you from being incarcerated.

Again, the only way out is for people to wake up out there...see what is really happening...and DO something about it. It would be great to stick
with in the judicial limits...but people...it is very possible that the judicial limits need revamping as well.

If this ever happened to anyone I knew the prison would go down in flames. The government forgets the people are well armed, and with the current
state of affairs, many of us have nothing to lose.
Tread carefully, or we well end you.

You do realize that these crimes have different laws attached to them don't you? Had the mortgage broker stolen the money in the way that the
homeless guy did he would have received alot harder sentence.

And look at Maddoff, he got life in prison so to say that those with money can bribe their way out of trouble certainly is a misled statement.

The justice system is a complete joke and has always benefited the rich throughout history. I fear little can be done to ever change it as long as
anyone has the money to buy their way out.

It's not the justice system it's the laws that your representatives pass. Instead of whining about them you should go have them changed if you
don't like them.

“We are especially concerned about increased disparity in white-collar sentencing,” Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer of the Criminal
Division told American Bar Association conference attendees in February. Breuer said, “It is not uncommon for a health care fraud defendant to be
sentenced to 15 or more years in one district court, while, in the same week, another defendant in another court involved in a larger fraud is
sentenced to a very short prison term.” Breuer noted that an appellate court recently affirmed a 25-year prison sentence for someone involved in a
$40 million fraud while, almost simultaneously, another defendant involved in a $1 billion fraud got just five years in prison.

Madoff was a wall street fall guy. Thats why he got a harsh sentence. It has nothing to do with the crimes he committed. Wheres the rest of the wall
street guys who got away with fraud at the least!

You have to be kidding if you think that a rich white guy couldnt buy his way out of justice. It happens CONSTANTLY! I cant even begin to comprehend
anyone who would even consider our justice system fair at all.

Bingo.

The difference is violence. The homeless guy kept his hand in his pocket, implying he had a gun, and even announced, "This is a robbery". That no
violence occurred and he didn't have a gun means nothing. He took money by force and that carries a much higher penalty than a non-violent crime.
